Answer:

6

Explanation:

based in

Vincent Van Gogh’s most popular painting, The Starry Night was created by Van Gogh at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, where he’d committed himself in 1889. Indeed, The Starry Night seems to reflect his turbulent state of mind at the time, as the night sky comes alive with swirls and orbs of frenetically applied brush marks springing from the yin and yang of his personal demons and awe of nature.

Answer:

12, 60

Explanation:

To solve this question, we can use a system of equations

1) x + y = 76

2) y - 3x = 12

Then, we can use the second equation to isolate y and substitute it into the second equation

y = 3x + 12

x + (3x + 12) = 76

4x + 12 = 76

4x = 64

x = 16, y = 60
